Westboro Baptist Church: 1, Grieving father: 0

I didn’t know it until today, but the grieving father who sued Westboro Baptist Church for protesting his Marine son’s funeral and criticizing him on its website is from the York area. He and his lawyers held a presser in downtown York that was attended by more media than I’ve ever before seen in the area.

It was a very interesting decision in that the Supreme Court ignored half the case! Most of the intentional infliction of emotional damages came not from the protests, but from the online “Epic” directly addressing Snyder. That is only mentioned in Alito’s dissent, even though it is a main focus in the trial court and circuit court decisions.
I agree with the decision, but was let down that they didn’t address the actual, difficult part of the scenario.
